Lots of TV May Harm Kids' Diet, National Institute of Child Health and Human Development Study
Kids who spend lots of time in front of the TV have poorer diets overall, a new study of U.S. middle school students finds. The research doesn't prove that TV watching has anything to do with what kids eat, and other factors -- such as parenting style -- could be more important than time spent with "American Idol" or "SpongeBob SquarePants."
